Yes fluidsynth and any SF2 compliant synthesizers sould always instructed by
soundfonts articulations parameters. They are
only reproducer sound engine. In other words the synthesizer should never take
any decision.

modulators effects are always "additive". That means that if we have
CC1-to-xxx-volume, and CC1-to-xxx-frequency-oscillator modulators. Both
modulators will be played.
In this case the same CC1 will modulate the oscillator frequency and the volume
(through the respective lfo).
Assuming you want to disable the default CC1-to-xxx-frequency modulator. The
only way to do that is to add a new CC1-to-xxx-frequency-oscillator:
In order to be able to override this default modulator, 3 conditions must be
observed with attention:
(1)this second modulator MUST be added at INSTRUMENT level (i.e in instrument
zone) (please do not be confused with preset level).
(2)this new modulator must be IDENTICAL to the one intended to be disabled.
In SF terminologie two modulators (m1,m2) are considered identical when that
have 'same sources(src,src amount)' and 'same destination' (regardless of
amount value).
(3)new modulator's amount value MUST be 0.
If one of the above condition is not true, this new modulator will never
override (i.e disable) the default CC1 modulator.
Wecome to the world of SF2.

Thanks for the update and corrections to my thoughts and ideas. It is
particularly useful to know that I can change what FS does by changing
parameters in the sound fonts.
>
At the moment I just want something that works so that I can experiment with
it. My code does not produce ANY modulation at present and you say the
modulator may be disabled in the sound font. I have examined several of my
sound fonts using viena and cannot see any way to positively DISABLE any
modulators. (I am not a sound font expert, normally just a sound font user -
but ready to learn).

However the modulators can be altered and in some cases the default frequency
has been altered for particular instruments.

I am attaching one of the sound fonts in which fluidsynth and my code fails to
activate any modulation or vibrato. All of the sound fonts I regularly use
accompany eplayOrgan when it is downloaded and installed.

I have googled "fliudsynth christian" and surprisingly there were some results
connecting the two but nothing obviously of any value to my problem/s. So - how
do I get Christians advice on tremolo?
